TORONTO, CANADA – Pathfinder had a large, attractive book stand at the March 16-19 Toronto conference of the Association for Asian Studies conference. While the majority came from universities in the US and Canada, many others came from Japan, China, Korea and India, as well as some from Europe. A significant number of professors and graduate students from North America were of Asian origin or background.

Pathfinder’s three newest books were the best sellers — The Clintons’ Anti-Working-Class Record, Are They Rich Because They’re Smart? Class, Privilege and Learning Under Capitalism, and Is Socialist Revolution in the US Possible? - books that contribute to the debate among working people facing capitalism’s global economic and social calamity and spreading wars.

Conference participants also bought 10 copies of Our History is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese-Cuban Generals in both English and Chinese. This title continues to be a great introduction to the Cuban revolution to people from Asia.

Sixty people signed up to receive more information about Pathfinder including those in India, Japan and Indonesia interested in adding Pathfinder titles to their campus libraries. One professor wrote a few days after the conference to say that he had already read two of the Pathfinder books he had bought and remarked that “I find the work you are publishing to be of great interest.”
